How To Perform Crunches With Heel Push

Crunch with heel push can be performed in three simple steps. If done correctly, this crunch can be your long awaited solution to long-term abdominal muscles workout.

Step I: get into starting position

To get started, look for a soft mat and place it on the surface of exercise. This is to keep your back comfortable especially if you are performing the crunch on a hard surface.After that, lie flat on your back over the soft mat and put your hands behind your head. Next, bend your knees while keeping your heels firmly flexed on the ground. At this point keep your abdominal muscles contracted.

Step II: push your lower back upwards

With your abdominal muscles contracted and your heels pushing hard on the floor, lift your shoulder blades slowly so that they rise above the ground. Ensure that your hands remain behind your head and that pressure is felt on your neck and head.

Note that at this point; only your shoulder blades are lifted off the ground while your heels and back remain pressed on the floor.

Step III: lower your body down

In this step, just lower your body to the ground in slow motion and not in a thud. If you are in a hurry to get back down you might end up hurting yourself.

Repeat the above steps while pausing in between reps to breathe.

Note: if you are just getting to know of the exercise and is starting out, it is better if you lower your upper back all the way to the ground take a breather, adjust your position and then continue. But if you are a pro with these exercises, you can easily lower your back without letting it touch the ground and go back up again.
